            <a href="https://ghostfol.io">Ghostfolio</a>, the web-based personal
            finance management software, supports passwordless authentication as
            of now thanks to the integration of
            <a href="https://identity.ic0.app">Internet Identity</a>. This
            blockchain authentication system enables you to sign in securely and
            anonymously to Ghostfolio. With this latest update, Ghostfolio is
            ready for Web3.

            To avoid the security issues that arise with password authentication
            on the traditional web, the
            <a href="https://internetcomputer.org">Internet Computer</a>
            blockchain by <a href="https://dfinity.org">dfinity</a> has
            introduced a new cryptographic authentication system. It is called
            <i>Internet Identity</i> and is as convenient to use as Web2
            <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OAuth">OAuth</a> ("Open
            Authorization") providers like <i>Google Sign-In</i> or
            <i>Facebook Login</i>.

          <h2 class="h4">How to use Internet Identity?</h2>
          <p>
            <i>Internet Identity</i> is based on the
            <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebAuthn"
              >WebAuthn protocol</a
            >
            and uses secure cryptographic authentication. It provides three
            options to authenticate yourself:
          </p>
          <ul>
            <li>
              The built-in biometric authentication methods of your smartphone
              or laptop (fingerprint sensor, <i>Face ID</i>, <i>Touch ID</i>)
            </li>
            <li>The password or pin to unlock your computer or mobile phone</li>
            <li>A security key plugged into the USB port of your computer</li>
          </ul>
          <p>
            When you authenticate with <i>Internet Identity</i>, the service
            only gets a dedicated pseudonym rather than sensitive user data like
            the e-mail address or phone number. This preserves your anonymity
            and prevents you being tracked on the Internet.

          <h2 class="h4">The key benefits in a nutshell</h2>
          <ul>
            <li>
              Authenticate yourself securely without the need of an e-mail
              address, username, or a password: all you need is your device to
              log in.
            </li>
            <li>
              Built-in recovery mechanisms to ensure you are not locked out of
              any service that requires the <i>Internet Identity</i>.
            </li>
            <li>
              Log in to various Internet services without being tracked by big
              tech companies.
            </li>
